In a departure from traditional analysis, the author notes that non-state actors that affect political and social life in the Global South are not always terrorist actors or the result of political disputes. In several countries, criminal actors with a high degree of complexity emerge, capable of performing violent actions that proportionally surpass the economy of crime. Furthermore, they are capable of carrying out actions beyond the state, in a transnational approach, connecting with criminal organizations in other countries and or even other violent non-state actors. This volume consolidates studies on criminal non-state actors in South America, analyzing their historical development, governance capacity, profiling key actors, and assessing their overall effect on international relations as a whole. As such, it will be useful to students and researchers interested in international security, criminology, Latin American studies, and peace and conflict studies. 410 0$aContributions to Security and Defence Studies,$x2948-2291 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aPeace 606 $aCriminology 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 606 $aCriminology in the Global South 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 14$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 615 24$aCriminology in the Global South. 676 $a327.116 700 $aFerreira$b Marcos Alan$01830232 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911011651003321 996 $aCriminal Non-State Actors$94400537 997 $aUNINA
